Further to the 7,298 sq ft and 5,503 sq ft lettings to Howdens and Screwfix, respectively, last year, Harris Lamb has now secured two further occupiers for the site- GAP Plastics and McDonald’s.

Tom Morley, who oversaw the lettings, said: “There has been a great deal of interest in Greenlight Kings Heath due to the first-class warehousing and trade units available, the site’s excellent sustainability credentials and its superb strategic location close to key UK transport links. 

“We are delighted to have secured two further occupiers at the site, with GAP Plastics having signed a 10-year lease on the 5,400 sq ft Unit 1B, and McDonald’s taking on Unit 2A, a 5,500 sq ft facility which will house a dark kitchen.”

Joint agent for Greenlight Kings Heath, Colliers, has also secured flooring contractor Headlam as the new occupier of Unit 2E, a 5,500 sq ft unit.

Tom added: “With Greenlight Kings Heath having only reached practical completion a matter of weeks ago, we have been extremely pleased with the response to the development and are confident that more occupiers will be secured in the coming weeks and months.”

David Owens, asset management director at Delancey, said: “Greenlight Kings Heath offers flexible industrial, warehouse, and trade counter space. Its excellent location and sustainability credentials are helping to attract a strong cohort of occupiers. 

“We are pleased to welcome such an established group of names and we are in talks with several interested parties who are eager to occupy our remaining units.”

Stuart Franks, partner at Coltham, added: “The new arrivals at Greenlight Kings Heath outline the continued demand for first class industrial space in key locations. 

“It is fantastic to have achieved 50 per cent of units let within a couple of months from practical completion. 

“We now look forward to welcoming further arrivals over the coming months.”
